Check that the oven is placed at a safe distance from flammable materials or objects.

Switching on for the first time

Before using the fryer for the first time, it is recommended that the fryer be turned on empty for about 20 minutes to remove any grease that may have stuck during production and to remove any unpleasant odors from the new appliance.
During this time, you may notice faint smoke and a mild unpleasant smell. It is a normal occurrence that does not affect the correct operation of the appliance. Ventilate the room properly afterward.

Warning:

When carrying the fryer, make sure to hold it safely from the bottom. Never carry the appliance by the handle.

Cooking Tips

The hot air fryer can be used to cook the same dishes as a traditional oven.
Stir any smaller pieces halfway through cooking for optimal results of cooking. This ensures that the food is cooked evenly.
You have to adjust the cooking time to the amount of food. The higher the amount of food, the longer cooking time is required. And the other way around.
Some food may stick to the frying basket during cooking. Therefore we recommend spraying the frying basket with high smoke point cooking oil and then putting the food inside.
Do not use the fryer to cook food with a high-fat content (e.g. sausages) as this may cause fire.
You can get crispy French fries by sprinkling a little vegetable oil over them.
You can use the hot air fridge to heat food, as well. Set the temperature to 160 °C and the cooking time to 10 minutes.

Warning:

Do not pour oil or other liquids into the container. There is a risk of ignition.

Homemade French fries

Peel the potatoes and cut them into French fries of the same size.
Rinse the French fries properly and dry them with a paper towel.
Pour ½ cooking oil into a large bowl and add the French fries. Coat the fries well in oil.
Empty the French fries into a colander and let them drain.
Place them into the frying basket and fry them.

Note: It is important to properly dry the French fries before dipping them in the oil and let them drain before frying. Only in this way, you can achieve the crispy effect.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket, and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning or any maintenance. Clean the hot air fryer after each use.
Warning: Never immerse the appliance, or power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
Do not use plastic or metal scrapers, harsh cleaners, chemicals, petrol, solvents or other similar substances to clean any parts of the appliance. The surface finish could be seriously damaged.

Container and frying tray

Wash the container and frying tray in warm water with a little dishwashing liquid. Rinse and wipe dry.
If food gets burnt on the frying tray, pour warm water with dishwashing liquid into the container and put the frying tray inside. Let it work for about 10 minutes and then clean.

Fryer interior space

Wipe the interior with a soft, slightly damp sponge. Dry it with a paper towel. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the heater.
